Free parking at Leominster garage extended to June 30

LEOMINSTER -- The Montachusett Regional Transit Authority will extend free parking at the North Leominster Garage until June 30, Administrator Mohammed Khan announced Friday afternoon.

Khan said in an email that the extended free parking is "to thank everyone for their (patience) and to let them get adjusted to the new parking facility."

The parking garage at the North Leominster commuter-rail station, for which work began in March 2012, opened May 20 after several delays. Work was originally scheduled to be done by July 2013. The completion date was later moved to mid-December, but an issue with a contractor led to further delays.

MART officials had originally granted free parking through the end of May in order to allow customers time to become oriented with the building's layout and the flow of traffic before charging.
